SO, WHEN I LOOK AT THIS OUTFIT FROM SOLANGE KNOWLES, I CAN’T HELP BUT BE DRAWN BY HER SHOES. AND THE WAY THE COLORS, OF THE BLACK PLATFORM AND THE ORANGE AND YELLOW, DRAPED, BEADED STRAP, BRIDGES THE BLOUSE, WITH THE TEXTURE OF THE HIGH-WAISTED SKIRT. THE SHOES MAKES THESE FEATURES, SORT OF POP OUT AT YOU. I LOVE THAT SHE USED BOHEMIAN CHUNKY JEWELRY, SUCH AS HER NECKLACE, AND HER CUFF BRACELET, THAT REALLY HELPS BRING ALL OF THESE COLORS, AND ALL OF THE DETAILS, TO SOME SORT OF HUSHED SILENCE, OF A FASHION FRENZY INTO A HARMONIZED BALANCE.

TARA 101: MY FAVORITE ASPECT ABOUT THIS OUTFIT, IS THAT IT GIVES OFF MAJOR VINTAGE VIBES. I LOVE VINTAGE FASHION, AND THIS OUTFIT DEFINITELY FALLS IN THIS CATEGORY. THE FIRST THING MY EYES ARE IMMEDIATELY DRAWN TO ARE HER BLACK PLATFORM ORANGE AND YELLOW BEAD ANKLE-STRAP SANDALS. I LOVE HOW SHE USED A PAIR OF SHOES TO STYLE TYE OUTFIT AROUND. THE SHOES BRING OUT THE PRINT OF THE BROWN BLOUSE AND YOUR EYES SORT OF JUST ZOOM IN ON THE TEXTURE OF THE HIGH-WAISTED SKIRT. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS OUTFIT. I LOVE HOW THE OUTFIT IS VINTAGE BUT SHE PAIRED BOHEMIAN JEWELRY PIECES WITH HER OUTFIT. I DECIDED TO RECREATE A BLOUSE PAIRED WITH A HIGH-WAISTED SKIRT AND VERY DETAILED SHOES THAT I WILL BE STYLING THE OUTFIT AROUND. SO HERE WE GO! LET’S GET TO IT!

I PAIRED ETSY IRIDESCENT FRINGE CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH BARBIE HOT-PINK LIPSTICK, PAIRED WITH A VALENTINO GARAVANI, RED TIE NECK SILK BLOUSE, THAT WILL BE WORN TUCKED INTO A PRADA, BLACK HIGHWAISTED SKIRT WITH RED TIGHTS, AND WHITE EMBELLISHED BAROQUE MARY-JANE PUMPS.

FOR THE JEWELRY, I PAIRED WITH THE EARRINGS, AN ETSY, IRIDESCENT JEWELED BRACELET, WITH AN ETSY, IRIDESCENT BUTTERFLY RING, ON THE SAME HAND. ON THE OTHER HAND, I PAIRED AN IRIDESCENT CHUNKY SQUARE RING.

TARA 101: FIRST OFF, I LOVE THIS LOOK FROM SOLANGE KNOWLES. THIS IS ON MY TOP 10 FAVORITE OUTFITS, BY HER. ITS REALLY HARD BECAUSE MOST OF HER OUTFITS I LIKE. I LOVE WHEN SOMEONE WHO’S PASSIONATE ABOUT FASHION TELLS A STORY WITH A DIFFERENT SCENEARIO WITH EACH OUTFIT THERES SO MUCH UNPREDICTABILITY IN IT AND IT JUST MAKES HER FASHION THAT MUCH MORE PRACTICAL AND INFLUENTIAL. SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET’S DISCUSS WHAT SHE IS WEARING.

SOLANGE PAIRED A BLACK AND ORANGE BEADED NECKLINE BOHO BLOUSE, THAT SHE HAS TUCKED INTO MATCHING BLACK AND ORANGE, BOHO PANTS, PAIRED WITH BLACK SUEDE POINTED-TOE, CLEAR PUMPS. SHE ACCESSORIZED HER OUTFIT, WITH ORANGE LIPSTICK, ORANGE NAILS, AND A SILVER CHUNKY RING.

TARA 101: MY FAVORITE ASPECT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS OUTFIT, IS HOW SHE ALLOWS THE PAIRING OF THESE BOLD BOHO PRINTS, TO REALLY STRUCTURE THE OUTFIT. AND HOW SHE WENT ABOUT ACCESSORIZING AROUND IT, WITH THE ORANGE LIPSTICK, AND NAILS, PULLING FROM ONE OF THE COLORS IN THE BOHO PRINT, OF HER BLOUSE, AND PANTS. THE ORANGE BEADED NECKLINE DETAIL, OF THE BLOUSE, IS WHAT REALLY CATCHES MY EYE, IT’S GIVING AFROCENTRIC BOHO VIBES. I ALSO LIKE HOW THE SLEEKLINESS, OF THE PUMPS, PULLS THE OUTFIT TOGETHER IN A SLEEK, SORT OF WAY. I DECIDED TO RECREATE, THE MIXTURE OF BOHO PRINTS, PAIRED TOGETHER. SO, LETS GET TO IT.

I PAIRED ETSY LAVENDER-IRIDESCENT CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH FUCHSIA PINK LIPSTICK, PAIRED WITH A DOLCE AND GABBANA, LILAC-PURPLE BLAZER, PAIRED OVER A ETRO, WHITE AND PURPLE BOHO PAISLEY PRINT BLOUSE, THAT WILL BE TUCKED INTO DOLCE AND GABBANA, PURPLE FLORAL BOHO PRINT PANTS, BRIGHT-PINK TIGHTS, AND BARBIE-PINK PATENT PUMPS.

FOR THE REST OF THE ACCESSORIES, AND JEWELRY, I PAIRED A BARBIE-PINK JW ANDERSON, FOLD-OVER CLUTCH HANDBAG, WITH BARBIE-PINK NAILS, AND AN ETSY, IRIDESCENT JEWELED CUFF BRACELET ON ONE HAND.

THIS HAS TO BE ON THE LIST OF MY FAVORITE OUTFITS FROM SOLANGE KNOWLES. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET’S DISCUSS WHAT SHE IS WEARING SHALL WE.

SOLANGE KNOWLES PAIRED A NAVY-BLUE, LIGHT-BLUE AND RED COLOR-BLOCK COAT, THAT SHE IS WEARING AS A DRESS. SHE PAIRED IT WITH MATCHING RED, LIGHT-BLUE, AND NAVY COLOR-BLOCK PATENT LEATHER CRISS-CROSS PLATFORM SANDALS. SHE ACCESSORIZED HER OUTFIT, WITH A BLACK AND BLUE CLUTCH.

TARA 101: LET ME JUST START OF SAYING I LOVE WHEN FASHION INFLUENCERS, ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING WHEN IT COMES TO COLOR-BLOCKING LIKE SOLANGE. MANY PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS AN ARTISTIC SORT OF EXPRESSION. WHEN YOU GO ABOUT STYLING PIECES AND STRATEGICALLY PAIRING. ALMOST AS IF, YOUVE BEEN GIVEN A CANVAS, AND MANY PAINT COLORS AND ONE BRUSH. SOMEONE ASKS YOU TO PAINT SOMETHING THAT IS GEOMETRIC BUT IT HAS TO BE AN ARTISTIC BUT HAVE A REPITITION IN ITS PATTERN, AND IN ITS COLORS. FOR ME THATS HOW COLOR-BLOCKING WITH FASHION PIECES SEEMS LIKE. I HOPE I’M MAKING SENSE. IF I’M NOT ILL HELP YOU FOLLOW ALONG VISUALLY FASHIONISTAS, NO WORRIES. I DECIDED TO RECREATE THE COLOR-BLOCK COAT LOOK. THE WAY, I PAIR IT, I WANT YOU TO VISUALLY SEE WHAT I WAS DISCUSSING ABOUT THE PAINTER SCENARIO, OF WHAT IT MEANS TO COLOR-BLOCK. ALRIGHT SO HERE WE GO! LET YOUR EYES DO THE TEACHING!

I PAIRED ETSY BLUE FRINGE CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH RED LIPSTICK, PAIRED WITH A FENDI WHITE BLACK, BROWN, AND TAN COLOR-BLOCK COAT THAT I PAIRED WITH BLACK TIGHTS. I PAIRED THE COAT CLOSED AS A DRESS WITH CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN RED, BLUE, PINK, AND YELLOW COLOR-BLOCK PLATFORM ANKLE-STRAP PLATFORM SANDALS.

I ACCESSORIZED THE OUTFIT, WITH A GABRIELA HEARST COLOR-BLOCK MULTI-COLOR, FOLDED HANDLE BAG, WITH RED NAILS, AND ETSY BLUE ACRYLIC BANGLE BRACELETS, WITH ETSY BLUE TURQUOISE MARBLE BEAD BRACELETS, ON ONE HAND. ON THE OTHER HAND, I PAIRED ETSY ROYAL-BLUE STONE MARBLE BEAD BRACELETS STACK.

TARA 101: I KNOW WHEN I THINK OF PLAYING WITH THE COLOR RED, NOT ALOT OF COLORS SEEM TO COME TO MIND JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. BUT ACTUALLY VISUALLY SEEING DIFFERENT COLORS PAIRED UP AGAINST AN INTENSE COLOR LIKE RED, YOU COME TO REALIZE YOU CAN PLAY WITH JUST ABOUT ANY COLOR WITH IT. WHICH IS WHY WE NEED TO GET INTO DISCUSSING WHAT TIFFANY HSU IS WEARING AT THIS PARTICULAR FASHION WEEK.

TIFFANY PAIRED A RED COAT LIKE A DRESS WITH BRIGHT NEON PINK PUMPS AND A BRIGHT RED BASKET HANDBAG.

TARA 101: RIGHT AWAY I’M NOTICING WHAT SHE’S DOING HERE WITH THIS OUTFIT RATHER DEMONSTRATING THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE INTIMIDATED BY THE INTENSITY OF THE COLOR RED. SO MUCH THAT YOU HOLD BACK ON WHAT COLORS YOU WANT TO PAIR WITH IT. I LOVE HOW THE DARK RED OF THE COAT AND THE BRIGHT RED OF THE BASKET HANDBAG ARE THE SAME COLOR IN CONTRAST WITH BRIGHT NEON PINK PUMPS. I LOVE HOW SHE DECIDED TO PLAY WITH DIFFERENT SHADES OF RED AS INTIMIDATING AS IT IS. I LOVE HOW SHE OPTED FOR NEON PUMPS TO REALLY TAKE ON A FUNKY CHIC, BRIGHT LOOK. AND PROVING A POINT, THAT YOU CAN PLAY WITH THE SAME COLOR, AND A DIFFERENT HUE WITH RED. YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH PAIR ANY COLOR, WITH A RED COAT, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE NEON BLUE. SO, I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS RED COAT LOOK, PAIRED WITH A DIFFERENT HUE OF RED THAT COMPLIMENTS AND A BOLD SECONDARY COLOR. SO HERE WE GO.

I PAIRED ETSY VINTAGE SILVER CRYSTAL CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH BARBIE-PINK LIPSTICK, PAIRED WITH ETSY SILVER CRYSTAL BROOCH, THAT WILL BE PINNED ON THE COLLAR OF A STUDIO TOMBOY X, RED COAT, PAIRED WITH A KARL LAGERFELD, SILVER-METALLIC BELT AROUND THE COAT. THAT I PAIRED WITH BURGUNDY PINK TIGHTS, AND RENE CAOVILLA, METALLIC-SILVER, ANKLE-STRAP PLATFORM SANDALS.

FOR THE REST OF THE ACCESSORIES, AND THE JEWELRY, I PAIRED A SILVER COCCINELLE HANDBAG WITH BARBIE PINK NAILS AND ETSY SILVER INDIAN BANGLES THAT WILL BE WORN ON BOTH HANDS.

I LOVE THIS LOOK FROM TIFFANY HSU SIMPLY BECAUSE ITS PINK. MY FAVORITE COLOR. SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET’S DISCUSS WHAT SHE IS WEARING.

TIFFANY PAIRED A PINK SUIT JACKET OVER A WHITE COLLARED BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT, THAT SHE PAIRED TUCKED INTO A PINK SKIRT. SHE PAIRED HER LOOK WITH WHITE AMINA MUADDI PUMPS AND A BLACK AND SILVER RHINESTONE MINI HANDLE BAG. SHE FINISHED HER LOOK OFF WITH BOLD RED LIPSTICK.

TARA 101: FIRST THING I WANT TO DISCUSS IS HOW ELEGANT AND SIMPLISTIC SHE PAIRED THIS PINK SUIT JACKET WITH THE PINK SKIRT. I LOVE THAT SHE OPTED FOR WHITE FOR THE SHIRT AND THE PUMPS AND THEN SHE THREW IN AN EDGY BLACK AND SILVER RHINESTONE MINI HANDLE BAG FOR DETAIL AND COLOR. I LOVE HOW SHE PAIRED A DARKER SHADE OF RED LIPSTICK TO REALLY POP AGAINST THE NEON HUE OF THE BARBIE-PINK PIECES, THAT SHES PLAYING WITH HERE. I DECIDED TO RECREATE THE PINK SUIT JACKET LOOK. SO, LETS GET TO IT!

I PAIRED ETSY GREEN INDIAN CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH BARBIE-PINK LIPSTICK, PAIRED WITH A REISS, BARBIE PINK PANTS-SUIT PAIRED WITH A PINKO BLUE PLEATED BLOUSE, THAT WILL BE WORN CLOSED WITH A MINT-GREEN OBI BELT.
